The Reno Bighorns completed two trades on Monday, acquiring Garrett Temple and Jack McClinton from the Erie Bayhawks and Dar Tucker from the Canton Charge.

The Bighorns traded Mike Harris and Demonte Harper to the Erie Bayhawks in exchange for Temple, McClinton and Alex Ruoff. Reno acquired both Harris and Harper in last week's NBA Development League draft.

The Bighorns traded Ruoff and Arinze Onuaku, another draftee, to the Canton Charge for Dar Tucker.

"We got one of the best point guards I've been around," coach Paul Mokeski said. "As a rookie in Rio Grande Valley, he was a key player in our championship run. Not only is he a great player on the court, he is a great character guy off the court."

Temple (6-foot-6, 195 pounds) has played for the NBA's Rockets, Spurs and Heat. Most recently, he appeared in six preseason games for the Heat (3.6 ppg). He played for Mokeski when the two were with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.

McClinton (6-1, 195) attended the University of Miami, where he averaged 19.1 points as a senior. He was drafted by the Spurs in 2009. Tucker (6-4, 205) won the NBA D-League Slam Dunk contest in both 2010 and 2011. He was also named the D-League's Most Improved Player in 2011.

The Bighorns open training camp Saturday. The season opener is Nov. 30 at the Reno Events Center.
